For the first time, Rep. Michele Bachmann who is actively considering a run for the White House in 2012 -- has said that the birth certificate President Obama has released to the public puts an end to the "birther" issue. It came when I showed her the copy of the Certificate of Live Birth published on FactCheck.org.
It happened this morning on GMA. Heres the key exchange:
Stephanopoulos: Last night you were on Fox News suggesting the president should come forward with his birth certificate as well --
Bachmann: Well, what I have said about that is, I was asked a question about that and Republicans are constantly asked to vouch for the authenticity of the birth certificate. The only one who can is the clerk of court in the county where someone is born and thats where people should go. Dont ask Republicans, go ask the clerk of court.

Either way, ITS NOT THE DAMN BIRTH CERTIFICATE. These documents are far easier to secure than a REAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE.
It means NOTHING - NADA.
This guy’s ALLEGED mother ran all over the world and she could have whelped him anywhere and from anyone - IF INDEED she WAS his mother.
Somebody doesn’t spend $2,000,000.00 to black access to his records for no reason.
You have to watch the tape, she did say that the document he had, which he didn’t show her, needed to be submited for verification.
If it turns out that he WASN’T born in the USA, it’s possible that congress WOULD impeach him. I think the outcry would be too strong to resist.
(Please do not mistake my point for equating birth on the soil with Natural born citizen status. It is not. He cannot be a Natural born citizen because his father (if it really is his father) is NOT an American citizen.)
Danae’s Hawaiian COLB disproves that theory. Hers says “Date Filed” and it isn’t amended. Google it.
Yep.
NO,
“All from other lands, who by the terms of [congressional] laws and a compliance with their provisions become naturalized, are adopted citizens of the United States; all other persons born within the Republic, of parents owing allegiance to no other sovereignty, are natural born citizens. Gentleman can find no exception to this statement touching natural-born citizens except what is said in the Constitution relating to Indians.” John Bingham, aka father of the 14th Amendment 1862
He needs both parents to be citizens not one.
The law in Hawaii also says that birth certificates can be ALTERED, and therefore are NOT irrefutable evidence.
§338-17 Late or altered certificate as evidence. The probative value of a late or altered certificate shall be determined by the judicial or administrative body or official before whom the certificate is offered as evidence. [L 1949, c 327, §21; RL 1955, §57-20; HRS §338-17; am L 1997, c 305, §4]
I already knew this because as an Adopted child *I* have an "ALTERED" birth certificate. (I also have the original with my real mother and father on it.)
Damn...they’re ALL on the take!
She hijacked nothing. Are you a real person or one of those computer generated trolls?
Then harp on that, not on the BC. Nobody questions his father wasn’t a US citizen.
Michele Bachmann is getting very bad advice from her campaign managers. She will be seen as a waffler and a ditz-brain.
She’s off my list for potential nominees. She is just too flaky.
I have heard this before, but I have never seen any evidence of it. Do you have a link?
While I suport Trump on the birther issue, on most other issue’s he’s a fruad conservative.
The birther stuff is a distraction. I enjoy calling Hussein "the Kenyan" myself, but every minute spent talking about this is time not spent talking about important things like how badly Obama and his liberal henchman and toadies are screwing up the country. Obama is not going to be impeached even if it was discovered he wasn't born here. It's just not going to happen. Either way, Hawaii has released what it will release and that's pretty much the way it's going to stay.
That you have people in this thread yammering on that someone like Michelle Bachmann shouldn't be in the Tea Party because she isn't sufficiently on the birther bandwagon is beyond silly. That there are people who will blindly follow someone who is NOT a conservative like Donald Trump because he bangs away at the birther stuff is pathetic. The birth certificate stuff is NOT what's going to drive the 2012 elections. It's a sideshow, and not a super important one at that.
Really. She is ditzier than that Christine O’Donnell chick.
She can’t hold a candle to SarahPalin.
Thanks for the nice list....
The first qualification of any candidate to receive my support is that they kick the shiite out of these lying whores and Trump is the best at this I have seen.
